Infrastructure Gap in AI Services: How Coordinated Requests Could Cause Outages

Most AI as a Service platforms lack adequate rate limiting and request queuing mechanisms, creating potential DoS vulnerabilities through coordinated simultaneous token generation requests. This infrastructure gap represents a genuine threat to service availability and cost predictability that remains largely unexamined in current security assessments. Understanding these weaknesses is critical for both platform operators designing resilient systems and security researchers evaluating AI service defenses.
